Salem Health and OHSU
partnership progressing
West Valley Hospital services may expand soon

POLK COUNTY — West
Valley Hospital and its par-
e n t c o m p a n y, S a l e m
Health, will soon be part of
Oregon Health & Science
University (OHSU) Part-
ners.
The partnership, which
was formed to streamline
services and to provide bet-
ter care to patients of both
organizations, will officially
begin on Oct. 1.
However, the governing
boards at OHSU and Salem
Health announced the new
name of the organization,
OHSU Partners last week.
The board also named
Peter Rapp, the executive
director of OHSU health
care and OHSU executive
vice president, as the new
CEO. Norm Gruber, Salem
Health’s president and CEO,
will be the president of the
new company.
Salem Health’s site exec-
utive will be Cheryl Nester
Wolfe, Salem Health presi-
dent.
Jim Sapienza, West Val-
ley’s administrator, said
Wolfe will be his supervisor,
and there will be no
changes to the governing
structure at WVH because
of the new partnership.
Services offered through
WVH and its clinics will re-
main the same, for now.
“Nothing will change im-
mediately, but there will be
services that will be added
or expanded over time,”
Sapienza said.
He added the organiza-
tion will try to establish
“more appropriate services
from the Dallas campus.”
He said one example
could be expanding reha-
bilitation services to Polk
County residents.
Over the next six
months, the signs and
logos for West Valley, in-
cluding clinics in Inde-
p e n d e n c e, a n d Sa l e m
Health will change, incor-
porating part of OHSU’s
logo.
In September, a final
agreement between OHSU
and Salem Health is slated
for adoption.
The affiliation has been
in the works since 2014,
when Salem Health began
looking to form a regional
partnership.
Sapienza said he believes
the partnership will make
all three campuses
stronger.
“This is going to serve all
patients in Polk County at a
time when our health care
environment has changed,”
Sapienza said. “It comes at
the right time and we’ll be
able to provide the right so-
lution for our communi-
ties.”
